Strong opposition to Wendy's liquor plans for Hornby
posted on 12th November 2015
Over 300 people have objected to Wendy's bid to serve alcohol at its Hornby restaurant. Christchurch City Council received 326 submissions on Wendy's application to gain a licence to sell liquor between 8am and 11pm, seven days a week. It is reportedly the first fast-food restaurant in New Zealand to make such an application.
Riccarton-Wigram community board member Debbie Mora said she had not seen such opposition to a liquor licence application in her two years on the board.
She was worried that, if approved, it could set a precedent for other fast-food outlets across New Zealand.
Wendy's chief executive Danielle Lendich said she had not seen the submissions and would not comment until she had a chance to review them.
She previously said the company wanted guests to enjoy a beer with a burger if they chose to. Non-alcoholic beverages would still be available, and no alcohol would be served at the drive-through or for takeaway guests.
